I raise my eyes to the liquid sky,
I drink the morning air,
I swallow the yellow yolk of sun-
And all things I dare.
With lightness of step and a gay mien
I approach the brand new day
For I'm fortified and emboldened-
Ready for what comes my way.
Ah, the violins of destiny
Play sweetly for my ears
And dance I shall, with a merry face
Over the coming years
For my toes are nimble, my heart pure,
I have Nature's nourishment.
I shall whirl and twirl and pirouette
And life live as God's intent.
Hear me, play me as a violin;
I add my voice to theirs.
The melodies of life can be sweet-
I'm part of those great airs.
